niro did. things aren't looking great if you're headed back from the poconos back from the shore this afternoon. it's really busy. if you're headed northbound on the northeast extension toward the lehigh valley and toward the poconos, we have a vehicle on fire now t it's about 4 miles north of the mid-county toll plaza taking out the two right lanes. definitely causing slowing coming northbound from plymouth meeting but if you're coming southbound back from the poconos, i would also expect a gaper delay. here's the scene in the great northeast this afternoon. a broken down vehicle southbound lanes of 95 entering the work zone at cottman. police just pulled up to assist but that right lane is partially blocked. definitely a little bit of slowing and maybe it goes without saying but i'll say it anyway it's more than a little bit slow coming back from the beach on this memorial day afternoon thanks in part to this crash on the northbound side of the garden state parkway just past ocean city marmora. that means if you're coming out of ocean city, you want to use route nine, the ninth street bridge, route 52 to get over to the parkway instead of coming out through march morality back roads coming away from sea isle, avalon,

stone harbor wildwood cape may very busy. 50 northbound crowded from nine up to 49, 83 westbound is busy from nine over to 47, nine northbound especially bunched up around avalon boulevard, 47 northbound bumper to bumper through dennis township. you get the idea. it's very busy. we'll talk more about the congestion coming up brian and sharrie in the 5 o'clock hour. >> some of that traffic myself last night but at least those folks had a good weekend. >> absolutely. >> thanks matt. take a live look outside right now. sky six showing the scene in cape may. some stragglers out there holding onto every second of this holiday weekend. they do in the want to sit in traffic tonight. >> and we do not blame them a bit. meteorologist melissa magee has the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast when we come back. >> ♪♪
